    These are the true canon sequels as far as I'm concerned Disney sequels are infinities set in alternate universe or timeline legends timeline will always be the true ending for the Skywalker saga with true proper Skywalker/Solo lineage Disney should concentrate on TV shows like the Mandalorian & retcon the sequels or give us 2 universes legends timeline for true fans who respect star wars lore & the original timeline & the sequels for the ones that don't care what ever they watch .if Disney don't bring back legends timeline then star wars is finished & will only watch TV shows & fan fiction which is far better than the sequels because they are made with passion by people who understand & care about the originals & star wars lore @least we've got plenty of novels like this to keep us going but there should be more novels in this timeline but it would be great to see these stories on the big screen.cheers for the upload

    Why couldn't of these be made into feature films, I always wanted that.... But we got the last Jedi instead. I loved the force awakens ( it took me back) it set up so much premise, a defected storm trooper, a girl who gets force visions when she touches relics, and obi and yoda are talking to her!!!! I thought Luke was building a Jedi army on the island that's why he hid the map in r2 ....I'm looking forward to ep8. Gotta be optimistic

Rogue one was good . Mandolorian is amazing and I even like Solo . But Ep 7,8,9 were absolutely 💯 trash . Horrible storyline !!! I liked Rey and Finn but the rest were shit .
